Synopsis
For more than a year and a half Vincent ventured into the world as Ned, with an ever-present five o'clock shadow and a crew cut--a perfect disguise that enabled her to observe the world of men as an insider. With her buddies on the bowling league she enjoyed the rough and rewarding embrace of male camaraderie; a stint in a high-octane sales job taught her the gut-wrenching pressures endured by men who would do anything to succeed; she frequented sex clubs, dated women hungry for love but bitter about men, and infiltrated all-male communities including a men's therapy group and even a monastery. She ended her journey astounded--and exhausted--by the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity.--From publisher description. Journalist Norah Vincent tells of her 18-month undercover research assignment in which she dressed up as and assumed the identity of a man. As "Ned," Vincent participated in an all-male bowling league, went to strip clubs, lived in a monastery, and interviewed for jobs, all the while learning firsthand about friendship, dating, sex, and work. Along the way she gleans insight into how men behave--and think and speak--and her responses to the machismo and cultural misogyny she encounters are thoughtful, fair, and balanced. As for Ned/Norah, she states, "I've had real experiences here. I haven't just been an observer." And by the end of SELF-MADE MAN, she is changed in a way more significant than just putting on a suit and tie. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year for 2006.

Publisher's Note
A Los Angeles Times columnist recounts her eighteen-month undercover stint as a man, a time during which she underwent considerable personal risks as she worked a sales job, joined a bowling league, frequented sex clubs, dated, and encountered firsthand the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity.
Industry reviews
"[A] thoughtful, diligent, entertaining piece of first-person investigative journalism." New York Times Book Review - David Kamp (01/22/2006) "If you're picking up on an undertone of empathy with the hairier sex, you're right. This isn't a we-are-the-world book in which Vincent rejoices in our common humanity. It's too subtle for that, too smart and too honest." Time - Lev Grossman (01/30/2006)
